Pronunciation. 

The  French  language  has  three  accents,  which  principally 
bflong  to  the  e,  namely 

the  acute  accent  6, 

the  grave  accent  h 

and  the  circumflex  accent  d 
if  the  e  is  without  the  accent  it  is  either  pronounced  short  or 
not  at  all,  if  with  the  accent  it  is  always  pronounced. 

Vowels. 

The  pronunciation  of  the  following  vowels  requires  most 

care : 

oVy  is  pronounced  like  oo  in  the  English  word  look, 

o,  au,  eaUf  are  pronounced  like  o. 

.7,  is  pronounced  like  a,  in  the  word  father. 

4,  is  pronounced  like  e  in  the  word  better. 

u  is  the  most  difficult  letter  to  pronounce,  for  there  is  no  cor- 
responding sound  in  the  English  language;  it  sounds  like 
the  German  ii,  like  eeyu,  and  it  ought  to  be  carefully  imi- 
tated from  a  French  person. 

eu.  oeUf  are  pronounced  like  u  in  the  English  word  much. 

p^  ^y  e,  a/,  e/,  are  pronounced  like  a  in  the  English  word  care. 

y,  y,  are  pronounced  like  e  in  the  English  word  mo. 

The  nasal  sounds:  am,  an,  em,  en,  un,  oin,  are  equally 

difficult  to  pronounce  and  these  ought  to  be  heard  and  imitated 

from  a  Frenchman. 

Rule.  Those  who  study  without  a.  teacher,  ought,  when 
an  opportunity  occurs,  to  ask  the  pronunciation  of  p 
difficult  word ;  by  such  means,  the  learner  will  arrivp 
at  the  correct  pronunciation,  which  no  description  in 
words  is  capable  of  conveying.

3.    Regular  Yerbs. 

The  Infinitives  of  Verbs  in  the  French  language  have  the 
four  following  terminations: 

er  —  as  in :  donner,    to  give, 

ir   —  as  in :  ffnir,         to  finish, 

oir — as  in:  recevoir,  to  receive, 

re  -—  as  in :  vendrey    to  sell, 

all  that  precedes  this  Infinitive  termination  is  called  the  ^'■roof^ 
of  the  Verb. 

Verbs  which  only  change  their  terminations  and  not  thdr 
roots  are  called  ^^ regular  Verbs'^  those  which  change  their 
roots  ^^ irregular  Verbs' \ 

The  Verbs  ending  in  ^^oif^  are  all  irregular  and  the  French 
lanj^uage  therefore  has  in  reality  only  three  regular  Conju- 
gations : 

The  first  Conjugation  ends  in  "er". 
The  second  Conjugation  ends  in  ^^if\ 
The  third  Conjugation  ends  in  '^oir^\ 
The  fourth  Conjugation  ends  in  "re". 

The  Past  Participle  is  formed  by  adding  to  the  root  of  the 
first  Conjugation  an  "^",  to  that  of  the  second  an  "i",  to  the 
fourth  aii  "u",  as: 

Donn-er,  to  give    —  donuS,  given. 
FiD-ir^      to  finish  —  tini,       finished. 
Vend-re,  to  sell     —  vendu,  sold.

What  is  it  about? 
He  has  come  back 
I  am  in  a  hurry 

Once  for  all 
Leave  me  alone 

Between  ourselves 
That  is  of  no  conse-

You  are  joking 
You  are  right 
Everybody  knows  it 

I  have  nothing  to

Don't  be  angry

At  the  end  of  a  year

All  at  once

Give  him  that  from

So  much  the  more

Go  away 

From  top  to  bottom 
For  want  of  time

Not  long  ago 
In  the  meantime
